Spring Is in the AirFriends,March is here and many of us

have been waiting awhile for it!During this time of the year, Ican’t help but reminisce a bitabout growing up in Indiana andbeing outdoors on the familyfarm. Flowers were closer toblooming and more people weretalking about gardening and theirspringtime plans.

No matter where you live, thewarmer weather brings us manygreat memories and opportunitiesto get outdoors, which issomething that I am particularlylooking forward to this spring.

As you have alreadyexperienced, it does not take achange in season for us to seegreat initiatives and newopportunities at our BelmontVillage of Green Hills community.The month of March is noexception.

As always, our programmingfor the month will be nothingshort of awesome. Plan for moreopportunities to get outdoors andalso get ready to visit some of thearea’s most notable spots.Whether your interest is food,music, history, or art (or all four),we have got you set up for agood time.

We are excited to continue thisexciting trend by rolling out new

amenities and hospitality services.One in particular for the month ofMarch, will be valet parkingservice for our residents andcommunity guests.

The service is one that willbring a whole new experience forour residents and visitors atBelmont Village of Green Hills. Ofcourse, convenience is a prioritybut our goal is to continuouslybring premier hospitality servicesto the Belmont Village experienceas well. Be on the look out for aletter from me with details aboutour valet service.

Our new initiatives andcommunity offerings are alwaysbased on the needs andcircumstances of our customers.At the end of every day, our goal isto provide the best possibleservice and experience. We valueyour input and appreciate anytime you take to help us make ourcommunity the best it can be.

Sincerely,George

Wit & Wisdom“If I had my life to live over, I

would start barefoot earlier in thespring and stay that way later in

the fall.”—Nadine Stair

Save Your VisionThere’s more to March than

shamrocks and basketballtournaments. It’s also Save YourVision Month. Sponsored by theAmerican Optometric Association,this annual campaign reminds usof the importance of eye healthand regular eye exams.

It’s said that the eyes are thewindows to the soul, but they canalso be the windows to potentialhealth problems. That’s why it isimportant to schedule a yearlyexam. Regular visits to an eyedoctor will not only ensure yourprescriptions for eyeglasses arecurrent, but also check for signs ofconditions like cataracts andglaucoma. The early warning signsof other health concerns, such asdiabetes or high blood pressureand high cholesterol, can also bedetected by an eye exam.

In addition to regular visitswith an eye care professional,protect your vision by eating ahealthy diet that includes plentyof fruits and vegetables, usingappropriate lighting for readingand tasks, and protecting youreyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
